Pharmaceutical Research looked at God's Inquisitor and closed her eyes, probably because she had found the information she wanted the most.
The moment she closed her eyes, some kind of strange energy wave seemed to have stopped. A gust of wind lifted the corner of her red dress, and it fluttered with her snow-white hair.
The thick white fog was suddenly blown away by the wind, and the traces of the dream before his eyes were also stripped away from his vision.
Everything around him returned to its original state.
Pharmaceutical Research only felt that his consciousness had turned upside down, and his stomach was churning. He lost his balance, and his body was about to fall forward.
It was truly an unbearable experience …
Yao Yan silently complained in his heart. He was already prepared to fall.
But just as he was about to fall to the ground, he saw God's Inquisitor's light sleeves from the corner of his eyes, quickly occupying his entire vision, and silently approaching him.
Lingsu pulled him into her arms.
It was a somewhat cold embrace.
Her hands were cold, like jade, and wrapped around his abdomen, and then through his arms, her fingers firmly locked onto his back.
She held him in her arms.
The temperature of God's Inquisitor's body was not like that of a human. Ever since she took over This Pill, Pharmaceutical Research had always thought that the girl might not have any human characteristics other than her human appearance.
Because she was different from the other God's Inquisitors who had come to This Pill.
"Be careful."
Just as he was stunned.
The girl above his head said.
"Great … Great General?"
The voice above his head was as soft as a game, and the body that was close to him was soft and boneless. Because he was very close to her, the girl's fragrance slowly spread from where their skin touched to the bottom of his heart, stirring up an itch.
For a moment, something in the bottom of his heart seemed to be stirring.
But just as he wanted to figure out what it was, the girl pulled him out of her arms.
"I promised Yizhen One to bring you back. If you hurt yourself, I'll be very troubled," he heard her say.
.....
That was really … a depressing answer.
Pharmaceutical Research smiled helplessly. "Yes, Great General.
I'll take care of myself. "
"Then I won't have to worry about it," Lingsu said.
From the captive's reaction, she had already detected the person who ordered him to do this. According to Ling Su's knowledge, the person who always carried scrolls around was most likely from the world of ninjas. What was more interesting was that the Puppet Technique of Divine Inquisitor 3304 also came from there.
From this, it could be seen that there must be some kind of connection between that world and the present world, causing them to repeatedly intervene in the present world's history.
As for what kind of conflict it was, it would probably have to go back to the Government of the Time to find out.
The Government of the Time was the bridge that connected the various plane worlds, the modern world of Japan, and the parallel space.
It held a large amount of unknown information, as well as the initial document library established by the government.
It could be said to be the most heavily guarded and mysterious place.
Moreover, Lingsu was also very concerned about Fox's Aid's strange behavior at that time.
She decided to quickly settle the matter here and return to This Pill as soon as possible so that she could make arrangements for the next step.
Thinking that it had been long enough since they left the shrine, Lingsu and Pharmaceutical Research both sped up.
They returned to the place where Yao Yan was first ambushed and found the destroyed Akechi Mitsuhide's Spirit-branded Retainer, as well as the unconscious guards.
Lingsu replenished the Spirit-branded Retainer with some spiritual power, allowing it to move again and transform into Akechi Mitsuhide's appearance.
And this time, she had a backup plan.
In order to prevent any more variables from occurring, she placed her spiritual power imprint on Akechi Mitsuhide's Spirit-branded Retainer and the remaining guards. This imprint would constantly monitor this place and activate protection when it sensed a threat, just like the bell she gave to Pharmaceutical Research before.
After settling the matter here, she and Pharmaceutical Research returned the way they came and met up with Shanmaqie and the others at the shrine.
After temporarily sealing the passage of the space-time array, she took them back to This Pill.
Probably because they had stayed in the Momoyama period for a long time, when the golden light of the space-time array dissipated and everyone's figures appeared in the courtyard, Honmaru's Spirit-branded Retainer put down what they were doing and gathered in the courtyard to welcome the Divine Inquisitors and Funerary Deities who had returned after a long time.
The Awadaguchi family's younger brothers were undoubtedly the most excited.
As the only older brother in the Awadaguchi family, he was arranged to go out, and Pharmaceutical Research, the most stable of them all, followed him.
Inevitably, the younger brothers were a little lonely and flustered, so they were not in the mood to do things in This Pill. Even Spirit-branded Retainer, who was more dependent on it, often had insomnia at night and was absent-minded during the day.
They were too afraid that something would happen to their brother.
There had been such a situation before.
Ever since the previous Divine Inquisitor died of illness.
Because the supply of spiritual power had been greatly reduced, and the government's orders to go out were endless.
Many Spirit-branded Retainers went out with injuries, and only when they were seriously injured would they lie down and enter the room to be healed.
In order to save spiritual power, they should not be equipped with protective talismans to resist damage when they went out.
Retainer had seen many times his older brothers go out with injuries, and then be hurriedly carried back by the other Spirit-branded Retainers and sent into the room.
In such a long period of time without an owner.
Things like breaking Spirit-branded Retainers would often happen.
He had seen some of Honmaru's companions go out and never come back.
Over time, going out of the array became the most panicked thing in his heart.
Fortunately, the Spirit-branded Retainers of the other Spirit-branded Retainers were more considerate. Since Honmaru had an owner, it was more idle and did not have to go out of the array day and night like before. Its spiritual power was so abundant that it almost overflowed, so the Awadaguchi family stayed in the courtyard every day and took over the internal work.
At this time, Shiro Antou, Xiao Hu, and a few other Spirit-branded Retainers were surrounding One Phase One Shock and Pharmaceutical Research, jumping around happily.
Lingsu looked at this group of Awadaguchi family Spirit-branded Retainers gathered in the courtyard and said with a faint expression, "One Phase One Shock, Pharmaceutical Research.
Remember to change out of your array uniform later, and come to my room with Shanmaqie and Zong San.
I have something to talk about.
Also … "
She turned around and asked Shanmaqie behind her, "Which Spirit-branded Retainers usually lead the way?"
Shanmaqie thought for a moment and answered, "When the previous Divine Inquisitor was alive, California Clearlight was used more often."
As for after the previous Divine Inquisitor passed away … they, who had lost their spiritual power source, naturally could not forge new swords.
"Then California Clearlight." Lingsu named the Spirit-branded Retainer.
Then, a young man walked out of Funerary Deities.
It was a very delicate young man. He had thin black bangs in front of his forehead, and the ends of his hair were short. However, he had long hair that was tied into a braid and draped over his shoulders.
He had a pair of slanted eyes, red pupils, and a little charming.
He seemed to pay attention to his own maintenance. His skin was delicate, white, and red. His nails were dyed red, and he wore short high-heeled shoes.
He pointed at himself with his slender fingers, tilted his head to the side, blinked, and said, "Master, I am Kawashita no Shiko, California Clearlight.
No matter what kind of order it is, please tell me. "
Lingsu was strangely silent for a moment.
Of course, this pause was very short, so short that only the Spirit-branded Retainers behind her could vaguely sense the strange aura of the Divine Inquisitor. Before they could react, they heard her speak again and ordered California Clearlight, "Take Compressional Hasselblad and familiarize him with This Pill. Arrange a room for him."
Compressional Hasselblad?
Honmaru's Spirit-branded Retainers finally noticed that Compressional Hasselblad, who was wearing a priest's robe, was following behind their master. He stood as straight as a statue, and the shadows cast by the sun covered most of his expression.
— — This sword … no matter how they looked at it, it did not look like a sword that had just been summoned should have.
But then they looked at the girl with a calm expression and a slight smile on her lips.
But they did not dare to ask the question in their hearts.
A gust of wind suddenly blew.
The branches in the courtyard rustled in the wind.
White petals were blown up, separated from the branches, and slowly floated down, dotting the green grass and landing at Lingsu's feet.
It was pear blossoms.
Lingsu was distracted by the wind. She looked up at the pear blossom tree not far away and muttered to herself for a long time.
Then she turned sideways and looked back. Her seductive eyes fell on Compressional Hasselblad and said to him, "Come here tonight."
She emphasized tonight.
And she said it just after giving instructions to Shanmaqie and the others.
Her purpose was to stagger the time between them.
Compressional Hasselblad lowered his eyes, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Yes, master."
The short welcome back dissipated as the Divine Inquisitor made the following arrangements.
Only Mitsuki Munechika, who was standing in the corner of the crowd, covered his sleeves and chuckled. Looking in the direction where the Divine Inquisitor left, New Moon's eyes shone with the light of the moon.
It was clear and dark, deep and vast.
The brothers of the Awadaguchi family were a little reluctant to part with their brother, who had just returned, and had started to talk about work before they even had time to rest.
But the Divine Inquisitor's words could not be refused. They could only force a smile as they watched Yi Yizhen and Pharmaceutical Research hurriedly change into their underwear and leave.
Before leaving, Yi Yizhen patted each brother's head and smiled gently. "I'll be back soon. You have to be obedient." Then he left the room with Pharmaceutical Research.
They walked along the corridor to the Divine Inquisitor's residence, the only two-story building in Honmaru. Then they knocked on the door of the office on the first floor.
Shanmaqie opened the door for them.
Zong San Zuo Language was already kneeling inside, and the Divine Inquisitor was also kneeling in front of a short square table. There was an incense burner on the table in front of her, and a gentle fragrance was spreading out from it. On one side of the incense burner were many bamboo slips. They were unfolded one by one, and there were words written with a brush on them.
It was a very ancient Chinese character, which was used in ancient China.
They could not understand it.
